Signal UK claims carbon-removal leadership as grid constraints push curtailment costs higher

Summary

A report signed by Ed Miliband declares that the UK will become a global leader in atmospheric carbon-dioxide removal technology. Britain accounts for less than 1 percent of the roughly 4 billion tonnes of CO2 emitted globally each year. Miliband has moved to the Foreign Office, where he is expected to make the climate crisis a central plank of foreign policy. Meanwhile, the cost of curtailing wind power because of transmission constraints is set to rise to 320 million pounds, adding roughly 10 pounds to the average household electricity bill. The carbon-removal leadership claim and the rising grid costs are emerging side by side.
